Bradley Murphy Design (BMD)

We couldn't let Halloween go by without giving us an excuse to share these images from a recent ecology training day! Our team spent a busy day and night locating and identifying different bat species, including common and soprano pipistrelles. Our in-house team can support you with all aspects of ecology for your project. We employ licence holders for all major UK protected species and have a wealth of experience in the assessment, design and delivery of comprehensive ecological services.

The BMD team enjoyed a jam-packed few days away at Tewinbury in Hertfordshire last week. Big thanks to John from Social and Vim from Honey Badger who kept us all on track planning our strategy for the next exciting chapter at BMD. As well as sharing ideas and thinking creatively about how we can better support each other and our clients, we were also able to spend some quality time together, getting out into the beautiful local countryside for foraging and walking as well as putting our skills to the test in a cocktail making masterclass that only got slightly competitive! It was a reminder of how important events like these are for stepping away from the day-to-day, thinking about the bigger picture and reflecting on why we do what we do. We’re feeling refreshed and raring to go! #awayday #teambuilding #strategyday

The Trees and Design Action Group (TDAG) seminar on Placemaking with Trees will be taking place at 2-4pm today. BMD's very own Ryan Murphy will be taking part and the panel will explore: How can the way we design with trees enhance the quality of a place for people and nature. How can we think of planting space in four dimensions – below ground, at ground level, above ground now and in the future. How can we design places that enable planting of larger forest tress to provide the greatest long term benefits.
